[QUOTE=Robin (The Gadget family);4650576]I'm there's an obscure offence somewhere of 'loitering with a fag, I mean flag, with intent to attract attention'.


When we were in the States people found it funny when a Brit asked someone if they could 'bum a fag'

[QUOTE=moonraker;4650653] Carl, is so going to regret this...Anyone know where we can get a large inflateable fag....not flag?

Oh you guys are sooooo kind. Don't worry I gave up smoking along time ago

Robin,

if you were to leave at say 8, you could be there at about 11ish? So if you got up just a bit earlier and left at 7ish, you would have no problem. You would have to go to bed earlier than you have been though

cheers for all your kind words,
Carl

Hi guys, me again,

My kids have been driving me made, asking how many other kids are going to turn up for the meet-up? So have have said that I would ask on here and hopefully get some replies.

Our two are Emily age 9 and James age 7.

So could you please add reply to thread or send a PM, then stop them driving me mad

Thanks to you all,
Carl & Tracey

Robin (The Gadget family)

Yeah mine are too.

Max - boy - 14 says he's not going unless there are hot girlies going!?!

Kelda - girl - 8 now but 9 on 3/5 is just excited and keen to meet new kids.

....and we will be leaving here early-early!

Unfortunately i will be leaving my 4 year old with my sister.

Charlie great idea about rounders/softball i will see if i can get a set.

Maybe adults against kids, i know bit unfair on the adults but could be fun

Good job Carl did'nt make his faux pa before the Stratford meet, otherwise I'd have just sent the wife & kids.

Still, can't knock it till you've tried it, eh Carl.

We hope to be going on the 28th and having had a mini meet, would recommend anyone who can go, should make the effort.

As we are likely to be day trippers, we will get there hopefully 10.30 - 11.00. Any other day trippers who want to make the most of it could meet up a little earlier and join the main group around lunchtime.

'Just an Idea if anyone is interested.

Hi,
yep we are taking some bats and balls, so we could find some where to have a game.


Robin,


great to hear your are leaving early.
so far we have 26 couple and families that have said they are interested in the meet-up, so there couple be a few there

Robin (The Gadget family)

I'll bring our box of circus toys - balls, clubs, diablos, devil sticks and poi, and a frisbi and whatever other outdoor toys we can think of.

gibbos1

Robin,
